Performance-focused design
BMC air filters are engineered to deliver a higher air flow than original paper elements. The cotton gauze media is treated with a low-viscosity oil to maximise air permeability while maintaining excellent filtration. In high-performance environments the reduction in airflow pressure drop helps the engine breathe more efficiently, allowing you to make the most of the car’s available power.
Premium materials and construction
Qualified engineers and skilled technicians manufacture BMC filters using advanced software and production methods. An epoxy-coated alloy mesh resists petrol fumes and oxidation caused by humidity. The familiar BMC red frame is created using a soft rubber full moulding process in a single piece with no welded corners, improving durability and ensuring a consistent seal in the airbox.
